Good news for all “God of War: Ascension” fans. Per reports, the multiplayer beta for “God of War: Ascension” is set to arrive soon, and Sony wants its players to sign up for it and witness how the franchise handles the weight of online competitive gameplay.
All the users need to do to be a part of it is to sign up at Ascension’s beta sign-up page. Note that this has to be done before Dec. 7, Friday. While not all of the players will be selected, but those who are “chosen” will be sent an email when “God of War: Ascension” beta is ready to be accessed by players.
Players who register and are selected will also be given access to the “Ascension” section of PSN beta. Users will need to log in to the PSN beta to redeem their respective codes for the game’s multiplayer trial.
“The God of War: Ascension Beta is not landing on the PlayStation Store tomorrow. Our development team here at Sony Santa Monica is burning the midnight oil in preparing our Beta for your Ascension, and we could not be more excited to open the flood gates. We are still working feverishly and have yet to announce the date it will deploy. The God of War: Ascension Beta will be open to all PlayStation Plus members when we go public,” the official page states.
“God of War: Ascension” is the first game in the “God of War” series to step outside of the multiplayer domain. “Ascension” will have an eight player online mode, with players battling each other while trying to defeat gargantuan bosses in the background.
“Vengeance is born in the fires of betrayal in this prequel to the best-selling God of War franchise. Six months have passed since Kratos stood over the bodies of his wife and child, his hands stained with their blood - tricked by Ares into murdering the only people he ever loved. Swearing to avenge them, Kratos broke the blood oath that bound him to Ares, but oaths to Olympus are not so easily broken... Sentenced to an eternity chained within a prison for the living damned, Kratos battles insanity at the hands of the Furies,” the game’s official description states. "He will be tested as he seeks freedom, redemption for his sins, and the clarity to avenge his family.”
“God of War: Ascension” is scheduled to be released on Mar. 12, 2013 for PlayStation 3.
